I have no tail lights or running lights on my trailer but all my brake and turn signals work.


Check the fuses on your tow veh. I would invest in a 12 volt test light.

Boat trailer brake actuators?

Are boat trailer actuators necessary or can I replace my current worn out acutator with a standard or basic tralier hitch coupler?? I' d rather spend the $100 less in parts for the basic hitch set up. Its a dico 60 rated @ 6000 lbs. the trailer holds an 18' ski boat aprx. 2500 lbs.


It might be a legal issue, depending on your state, if you disable a safety device, and there is an accident it would be held liable. A lawyers dream so to speak.
Your trailer and boat will probably exceed the 3000lb limit imposed by most states for towing without brakes.

The 6000 lbs rating is pretty much a standard for axles and brakes.

Boat Trailer..Hydralic Brake Coupler Questions!?

The part where the ball is helf together by the hydralic brake coupler on my boat trailer moves in and out of the rest of the brake coupler casing. When I accelerate the front piece extends and when I brake, the front piece retracts back into the Brake Coupler Housing and consequently, feels like the Boat is slamming into my car when I'm trying to come to a complete stop.

And similarly, when I accelerate back up, the car moves, and it takes about 6 inches for the front piece of the brake coupler (attached to the ball hitch) to fully extend, at which point the car starts to pull the trailer and the boat.

This is normal? I heard it was a safety feature but it sure doesn't sound or seem like it. The boat literally slams into and out of the Brake Coupler housing. Do I need to get new parts? Is this safe?

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!

Your trailer braking system is not working correctly, and needs repair. It may or may not be the hydraulic coupler, but it is more likely that the brakes on the axle need service. The coupler has the part that holds the fluid and actuating mechanism, but the brake shoes and drum are on the axle. when they sit for long periods they get frozen in place and they are the parts that get wet when you put the trailer in the water. you need to take the trailer in for service.

Sometimes you need to take the trailer around the block to get the ground to make good contact with the ball.

Does a 1991 chevy pickup have a brake wire to operate a trailer automatic brake?

I'm attempting to connect the wiring from a boat trailer to the tail light system on a 1991 Chevy Silverado Pickup that will allow me operate the boat trailer automatic brake.


No it doesn't. For installing a brake controller, you will need to tap the wire coming off of the brake pedal switch for the signal to the controller... I think Orange is the supply power and white is the signal (tap the white one). Going off of memory here, I'm out of town to look at my book (or my truck).

Double check with a meter, the white should be dead to ground, push the pedal and you should get voltage.

As for wiring at the backof the truck. There is a 10ga or 12ga wire in the harness attached to the inside of the left framerail. You may need to drop your spare tire to give you more room. Open up the end of the wire loom and about 3-6" inside you will find the blue wire (brakes) and a same gauge red wire(constant 12V supply). Then you can complete the wiring for your brake system to the plug on your truck and can hook up the +12V while your at it for a camp trailer/ect. The other end of those two wires can be found underneath the brake booster in the engine compartment. Once again you need to dig a tiny bit to get them out. Then complete the wiring again (make sure you connect the red to a fuse ~30A would be good) and the blue to the output of your brake controller.

But I have never seen a boat trailer with electric brakes. THey have always had the surge brakes (hydraulic that are actuated by the tongue of the trailer).
